Fours

Welcome to the 4-year-old curriculum! We will focus on building your child’s confidence and self-esteem through experiences that require independence such as: a job of the week, unpacking his/her things in the morning, cleaning up after himself/herself, etc. Four-year olds will also work on resolving conflicts, cooperating with others, problem solving, and expressing their feelings. Your child will learn these social/emotional skills through activities in large and small groups during centers and snack/lunch time with friends and during free play in the room or on the playground. These skills are what will help your child succeed in life and are considered to be the most important skills needed to transition smoothly to elementary school.

Our curriculum is based on learning through songs, finger plays, repetition, play, and books. Here are some highlights of our 4-year-old curriculum:

Theme and Bible Story of the Week:

School-wide theme and bible story of the week

Open-ended questions and discussions to enhance thinking and listening skills

What our parents say...

“Enriched our family as a whole…”

CLCC has not only enriched the lives of my children, but it has enriched our family as a whole. We have met parents who have become some of our dearest friends. The teachers and staff are no longer strangers to us, but are people we consider part of our family.

“They learned the love of God…”

It is difficult to put into words how much the Center has meant to my family. To know that my children were somewhere where they were known, safe and loved is priceless beyond measure. I never walked into CLCC and didn't feel peace, calm and order. I would walk down the hall and teachers I had never met would smile and say hello to my children. And most importantly, they learned the love of God there. The school has been an important part of my children's emotional and spiritual development, and we will forever be grateful.

“Amazing staff…”

CLCC holds such a special place in our hearts because of the amazing staff. It was not only the outpouring of love by all the staff for the children attending CLCC, but also their recognition of the strong bond of family, that resulted in our children thriving at CLCC. Day after day, week after week, we dropped our children off at CLCC and we always knew they were enjoying themselves, being well taken care of, and learning in a wonderfully, safe environment.

“Christ centered…”

The teachers and administration are deeply committed to creating a Christ centered, knowledge filled environment for the children. The impact the teachers and administration have on the children who pass through the doors is enormous! They plant little seeds throughout the preschool years, knowing that those seeds will one day blossom.
